Apink has begun the full-scale comeback countdown by releasing the track list for their third full-length album Pink Revolution on their official SNS on the morning of the 13th with the message "Apink 3rd ALBUM Pink Revolution Track List".


Apink will try out various genres and concepts in this album, showing a more mature musical side.


(From K-POP News)


Apink has released the track list for their third full-length album Pink Revolution, which will be released on the 26th.


They will try out various genres and concepts in this album.


Apink's comeback with their third full-length album is like sending the third batter to the batter's box.


Since their debut, they have steadily gained popularity, so there are always runners (fans) in the tens of thousands on base.


They want to hit a home run and send everyone home (sales).


To do that, they need to have a line-up of good songs.


However, it's not that easy, so idols have no choice but to take their time before making a comeback.






I was wondering what concept Apink would come back with this time.


The pure field that Apink has cultivated has now become a royal road for girl groups, and newer groups are continuing to enter the field.


The field is expanding, and the total number of fans has increased.


But we can't just be happy.
If you divide the increase in fans by the number of girls, you could say that the number of fans has actually decreased.


This is even more so when you add in omnivorous fans who follow three or so girl groups.






Apink's music is a problem. At first glance, they may sound similar to other similar girl groups.


If you listen carefully to the songs and concentrate on the dance, you will find that they are completely different and the level of difference will become clear.


However, if there are too many similar songs lined up, you will lose interest in choosing and appreciating them.


Even if the singing and performance are excellent, there is nothing that Apink can do if the songs they choose are lacking.


It is that difficult to compete with pure songs.


Apink has been idols who have focused on purity.


This is partly because that is what they were aiming for, but it may also be because the times demanded it.


As you know, KARA and Girls' Generation were the ones who built the golden age of girl groups that began in 2010.


Apink appeared when the boom began to fade a little after that era.




After KARA and Girls' Generation had their big hits with "Mister" and "Gee," every song they released was a hit.


This was because K-POP, a mix of pop and dance, was unusual and fresh.


Korean fans said that KARA's performances were not that good, while Girls' Generation's were amazing, but in Japan, KARA and Girls' Generation were rivals and competed for performances and CD sales.


From cute to girl crush, whatever they did, their songs sold like hotcakes. They were so popular that other girl groups followed KARA and Girls' Generation and started performing.


Solo singer IU even came to Japan and released a hit song.


The boom lasted for about three years and then started to die down.


Apink quietly set foot on Japanese soil when K-POP began to decline.


Fans at home stopped paying attention to K-POP, and even KARA's work at home began to decrease dramatically.


Girl's Day, who came to Japan with a sexy concept, ended up upsetting not only their popularity in Japan but also in their home country, so much so that they had to pull out.


Amidst all this, Apink debuted with a pure concept and became popular.


Apink appeared with a pure concept, aiming to revive and regenerate the popularity of K-pop.


★ Apink has tried out various genres and concepts in this album, showing a greater musical maturity.


The music Apink really wants to make may be just beginning.


It may not be Apink's music that is reaching its peak, but rather their pure music.


Apink was not a group of girls who remained pure.
